Sony/PS3
Don’t forget it was Sony at the Toyko Game Show 2012 that announced the first holiday bundle along with a new PS3 redesign. The bundle includes a 250 gig HDD, Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception along with a $30 dollar voucher for Dust 514 digital content and a 30-day Playstation Plus free trial. While not the most appealing of the bunch the bundle comes in at 269.99 which for a new PS3 owner is a steal compared to the PS3 stand alone consoles. Of course there is always the Assassins Creed 3 Bundle coming out on Octobter 30th.
Microsoft/Xbox 360
Microsoft was quick to react to Nintendo’s strategy today as they have announced a price drop of $50 dollars for their console. In addition to the price drop the green machine has announced 2 new bundles made for the Holiday Season much like last year. The one pictured above is priced at $249.99 dollars which reflects the price cut from 299.99. It includes a 250 gig HDD, Forza Motorsports 4, a redeemable code for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, 1 month of Xbox Live, Hulu Plus and Epix. New adopters of the console will be happy to know they now can purchase this at their local retail store!
Nintendo/Wii
Nintendo like its next-gen console has struck first in the strategic price cuts. The Nintendo Wii, which came out 6 years ago this November will see a price cut of $20 dollars in the US. Bringing the price down from 149.99 to the more approachable 129.99. The new bundle comes complete with 2 games which include: Wii Sports, as well as the Wii Sports Resort title. Along with 1 Wii Mote with a very sexy black finish to go along with its console counterpart.
